Tomorrow is shaping up to be a bad day for lots of DU'ers. It won't be for me, and here's why: He's a dead guy.
When I have a job to do, a job that's been assigned to me by someone superior to me, I do the job. I don't bitch about it; I do the fucking job.
Our job, nay the job of our elected representatives, from Mayors to Governors to Congresscritters to the President is to clean up the mess that the Dead Guy left. Let's get on with the work and stop the bitching, the wailing, and the gnashing of teeth.
If tomorrow is going to be a bad day for you because of the way the M$M will be celebrating the life of a fucked up dead guy, I say turn off your TV. Go fishing. Go walking. Ride your bike or walk your dog. Walk your fucking cat if you want. Just turn it all off until Monday. Live in Seattle? Go for a ferry ride. I used to ride the Mulkiteo/Clinton ferry for hours on end when I lived on Whidbey Island. Live in Long Beach? Take the Water Taxi somewhere. Get away from it all is what I'm saying. Put it out of your mind, and avoid anything that takes you to where they're celebrating the dead guy's birthday.
What I can't say though, is if you're looking for a safe haven from the dead guy worship, come to DU. I can't say that because there will be a HUNDRED threads on DU tomorrow dedicated to the dead guy, in GD alone. A hundred or more in GDP. Probably more than a few in The Lounge as well. So if you're looking for refuge tomorrow from the flash flood of dead guy worship... DU won't be the place for you. DU'ers as a whole will be obsessed with the dead guy tomorrow and it will show by the number of threads deadicated to the dead guy, multiplied by the number of posts in those threads.
He's a dead guy. We can't reach into his grave, take him by his dead throat, and wring sense into him or change his outlook on life. What we CAN do though, is remember that he's a dead guy, and resign ourselves to the task of fixing the things he fucked up. That task could be comparable to cleaning a catbox with our teeth, but it is what it is. Fixing a dead guy's fuck ups is never an easy thing.
Stand tall tomorrow DU'ers. Stand tall, face the right direction, and move forward. We can do this in SPITE of the dead guy and those who want to celebrate his shitty life. It'll take some work, but I'm confident that DU'ers can do it.
I'll pledge right here and now that I won't click on ANY dead guy threads tomorrow, if I come here at all, no matter WHO starts them. Remember "let it sink"? Let dead guy threads sink tomorrow. Join me in boycotting the dead guy. You'll go to bed tomorrow night happier than you would be had you participated in hating a dead guy.
I love my DU friends. Take this rant for what it's worth... just another drunken ramble from some screwed up drunk person who cares not a whit about most dead people.
And have a Wonderful Day tomorrow. Make it so.
